SHEPHERDS VS.. COWBOYS.
A Mortal Fight Amongst Some
of Them over Some water.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, March 30. =
Intelligence of fearful fight between
cowboys and sheepherders, near Grant
Station, on the Arizona line, has reached
this city. 1t appears that the sheep
men were watering lheir focks at q
water hole when four cowboys came on
the scene and ordered the sheep men
away. The herders refused to leave
until the flocks were watered. Hot
words followed when, the herders say,
the cowboys ran few yards away and
opened fire with their Winchesters. The
first shot killed the leader of the herd.
ers, who, being exasperatsd at the treat.
ment received from the cowboys, re.
turned the fire, woundi4g a cowboy.
The cowboys then fired . second volley,
wounding three more herders, and then
rode off at the top of theft horses speed
towards the Arizona line. The man
who was killed was named Justus Mon
tafio, and has been in the service of the
Apodaca Brothers, owners of the sheep,
for many years. Another herder, named
Jesus Maria Chavez, died from his
having been shot through both
hips. A strong posse have gone out
after the muruerers who, not having
much of start, are likely to be caught.

False Pretenses.

On Monday evening man who gave
the name of R. Getz, registered at the
Hotel Strasbourg. At about O'Clock
he went to the proprietor and showed q
receipt from Wells, Fargo 81 Co. for
$25, and asked the loan of $40 on it,
which offer was promptly refused. Yes.
terday morning he went to Mr.. F. Endl,
the proprietor of the hotel, and requested
him to 60 to Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office
and identify him as John Hausen, of
whom the order was drawn in favor.
Mr.. Endl went with him, and found
the order had been already cashed by a
man of the name of J. Hansen, who was
identified by Peter Ring. The man
Getz then tried to escape, but was de.
tanned by Endl, who turned him over
to Officer Woodward. He was charged
at the city prison with attempting to
obtain money by false pretenses under
the name of John Hansen.

One Lung Horses.

Probably the most remarkable horse
ever known in English turf annals is Or.
monde, the property of the Duke of
Westminster. He is one of the few
horses which, in the past hundred years,
have carried off all three of the great
English ree.year.old events, the Derby,
the st. Leger and the Two Thousand
Guineas, and from the ease with which
he won, he is rated better horse than
any of the others which preceded him in
the accomplishment of this triple feat.
Turfmen have been won't to regard
him as the greatest horse of the cen
tury, and now he has turned "roarer.
That is, his lungs are affected, and in
galloping he makes sort of stertorous
noise. Consequently the hopes which
his owner anticipated for him as the
progenitor of magnificent strain OF
racing stock are blasted, for he will not
care to breed to horse afflicted with 9
malady which he inherited from Prince
Charlie and others of his fleet footed
and blue blooded ancestors. Neither
will he run another race, and the
Duke of Westminster is said to be
about to sell him to 60 to Australia,
where the climate is good for horses
with weak and noisy lungs. Before it
was discovered that Ormonde was
diseased, his owner was offered $lOO,
900 for him, but of course he is not
worth anything like that tgure now.
The point we wish to make is that il
Australia is climatically good for weak
lungs California is better, and if this
magnificent thoroughbred could be Sc.
cured by some of our great breeders he
might be the sire of splendid line
of thoroughbreds. Los Angeles might
become the home of the one lung
horse with a propensity to snore in his
waking moments. Suppose our amiable
friend e. j. Baldwid should have an in.
spiration to add Ormonde to his Sants
Anita stud he might add divine afflatui
to the Los Angeles boom. Colonel Otis,
of that favored country, has prophesied
the coming of "the modern Homer" oi
the South, and we should not be sur.
prised If his divine afilatus turned out 9
horse snore. Nevertheless, it might be
proper to have Ormonde vaccinated by
DR.. Simpson in advance. ce.-[Oakland Tri

INDIGNANT LIBERALS.
The Coercion BillArOuses a Storm
Amongst Many Glasses.

Amongst Many Glasses.
LONDON, March 80 -Gladstene's speech
is widely commented upon as an effective
exposure of the feebleness of the govern.
ment's reasons for demanding coercion.
The strength of his reasoning is ad.
mitted by the Conservatives and
felt keenly by the Unionists and Liber-
ais, many of whom threaten to secede
unless the Coercion bill be reduced to
simple provisions against boycotting and
the plan of the campaign. The Con.
servatives already talk Of dropping the
proposals relating to the transfer of jury
trials, especially since the Unionist pa.
pers in the provinces declare
them untenable. Gladstone re.
renewed his defiance of the government
to attempt to enforce the cloture. The
Gladstonians are confident that they car
delay the passage of the bill until May
and in the meanwhile are hopeful that
revolution of events will throw dowl
the whole scheme. Whips on eacl
side have forbidden members to b,
absent during the holidays unless paired
Radicals and Socialists throughout tn
country are passing strict resolutions
against the Coercion bill, pronouncing
impolitic aud unjust. The Englisl
Radical press denounces the measure il
language of passionate indignation.

FOR SUPPORT AND SYMPATHY
On Behalf of Ireland-J0hn Fitz-
Gerald, of Lincoln, Neb.,
Sends a Reply.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD,
LINCOLN, Neb., March 29.-Ths fol-
lowing cablegram was received by Hon.
John Fitzgerald to-day, anl tie follow.
ing reply sent to Parnell:
nfSsa LONDON, on ISasosaj Ssrsa %. 1887.
To Hon. John Fitzgerald, Lincoln, Ne.
braska,
The Coercion bill proposed TONIGHT n
the House of Commons, is the eighty.
seventh since the act Of the Union.
eighty seven years ago. It is also
the most stringent. tyrannical
and uncalledfor by the state Of
affairs in Ireland. Never before has
coercion bill been proposed when crime
was SO rapidly decreasing, as compared
with the previous years. The measure
is aimed against all open agitation aud
appears to be expressly designed for
driving discomfort beneath the surface.
1t places all public speakers. writers and
conductors of newspapers absolutely ct
the mercy of the s'ipendiary magistrates,
holding their office at the D easure of
the Grown. 1t consigns the IRIS h-sps ak
ing peasant of rack-rented Kerry to the
tender mercies OF packed juries of
Orangemen or landlords, or to a jury Of
Engishmen at the Oh Bailey in London.
The Liberal party, headed by Gladstone,
stands as one man against this measure,
and will fight shoulder to shoulder with
US in opposing it to the last. 1t seems
h la IN hot
ent House of Commons will continue to
follow the Tory governments in their
mad course, and good judges consider
that the measure viii be weak ami viii
ruin the Cabinet. We must, however,
prepare for the worst, and confidently
appeal to the American people for that
sympathy and support which they have
never withheld from people struggling
for its liberty.
(Signed) PARNELL.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 20, 1887.
Hon. Chas. F. Parneu. M. p, House
of Commons, London - Your cablegram
is received, The League will redouble
its efforts. Ireland is sure of American
sympathy and support in the coming
crisis. The Nebraska Legislature to-day.
by unanimous vote passed resolutions
of sympathy with Ireland and condemns
the policy of Coercion. This and
similar manifestations throughout this
free country give the lie to the ISLANDERS
of the English press that true Americans
do not sympathizs with Ireland. This
great liberty-loving people of the United
States is entirely in sympathy with
Ireland's struggle for home rule.

sNow that the winter has to all appear.

close to the actual mortality among
the range stock. During the winter the
death-rate among the cattle was wonder
full. There is no doubt at all but that
fully one-half of the cattle on the ranges
throughout the Territory have died dur.
ing the past severe winter. There is
not single range on which the death.
rate was not fully that great, and great
many of them will sequal seventy.five
five per cent. With sheep and horses
the loss is not near so heavy as among
the cattle, but still the loss is great
among horses and sheep. On some
ranges it is reported that one.half the
horses have died. and that the sheep
are still dying by hundreds.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The Post
master General has issued circular ad
dressed to division uperintendents and
inspectors and other officials and EN-.
ployes of the railway mail service. The
attention of this Department has
been invited by the officers of many
railroad companies to the Interstate
Commerce act, with the inquiry of how
far those provisions, which they have
deemed restrictive to free travel,
affect persons in the employ of
the postal service. The correspondence
has almost universally contained an ex-
preston of willingness to continue the
facilities heretofore afforded, unless such
course be in contradiction of the law. In
order to obtain a satisfactory exposition
of this point the opinion of the Attorney
General was solicited to explain whether
there be anything in the act which pro-
hibits the practices heretofore prevailing.
The Attorney Generals opinion is that
the Interstate act does not affect the
postal service, but is intended for the
regulation of commerce only.
